OUR STORY

Here at Renovate Church, we believe in the power of Jesus to transform lives as we submit ourselves to a renovation project of our heart.  I have restored several classics including a Jensen Healey, early Ford Bronco, several early Mustangs, Torino, and Jeep Wagoneer.  (You are always welcome to come peek in my garage.  I’m always working on something.)  As I begin with a beat-up shell that is more rust than actual metal and restore it to showroom condition, I am reminded of the work of Jesus and the renovation that He has done on my heart and the hearts of His followers.  I believe we are all broken and rusted through in some form or fashion; and I want to introduce people to Jesus - the one and only person who can fix and heal our brokenness.

Jesus began a restoration project on me when I accepted Him as my personal Savior when I was 12 years old.  I was called into the ministry when I was 18 years old.  God has been preparing and equipping me for church planting for over 20 years but it wasn’t until several years ago that I sensed His calling into church planting.  I must admit it was something that I ran away from. But, I eventually surrendered to it near the end of 2016, went through the assessment and training process with North American Mission Board in June 2017 and in July 2017 quit a solid and secure full-time ministry position for about 15 years at Light of the World Church to pursue planting a church in Saginaw, TX.  God is not done with me yet and is still renovating my heart.  He is shining me up so that I can reflect the character of Christ to the city of Saginaw and abroad.  How about you? Is God calling you to join us and partner with us? Will you help us transform lives and restore hearts to God?
